Severe emotional disturbance in children and adolescents conveys the experience of severely emotionally disturbed children in detailed accounts of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and explores the life and death struggles against severe self-harm to body and mind by the most distressed sections of adolescents.
Different applied contexts for psychotherapy are discussed together with the work of the multi-professional teams who understand, provide care and reduce the level of risk. Theoretical and practical accounts are given of psychotherapy with borderline children and adolescents, in methods of treatment that address deficit and internal conflict, issues of slitting and staff conflict. Illustrated by clinical material, topics addressed include : the inpatient therapeutic setting ; family rehabilitation after physical, sexual and emotional abuse ; the adoptive father ; work with adolescent inpatients with spina bifida ; assessment, treatment and clinical management of adolescent disturbance.
Severe emotional disturbance in children and adolescents underlines the value of intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy as a coherent method of treatment in even the most severe cases of emotional disturbance. Psychotherapists, mental health workers, and social workers will find it a valuable resource for difficult work in a variety of contexts.
